A Compromise at Indianapolis.

Compromise at IndianapOl
 INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-Contrary to the opposition of many Democrats and Republi- cans last night to the efforts toward a com promise by which but one joint convention could be held the agreement was perfected this morning, but not until half hour be- fore the convention assembled. At 11:3O the agreement was announced to the Senate as providing for the joint chairmanship Of President pro tenn. Smith and Speaker Sayrs. Smith was to call the convention to order and Sayre to conduct the further proceedings relating to the vote except to announce the result which was to be done by Smith. Both parties agreed to abstain from menace and threats and Lieutenant Governor Robert son would obey the injunction of the court. As to the contests each party reserved the right to pro test against the rates of per sons VI nherever seats in either house are held pending action of the respective committees
 on election. Under this agreement the two
 houses met in the House of Representatives
 at noon, the lobbies and galleries being packed. Representative Niblack nominated
 David Turpie, who was seconded by Repre- sentative Parker. Senator Huston, seconded by Representative Griffith, nominated Ben jamin HarrIson and Representative Glover for the labor men nominated John H. Allen, druggist of Terre Haute. On the call of the vote the Republicans had recorded the following protests: Against Senator Brenni- man, seated by the Democrats in place of | Senator W. c. Mcdonald; President pro l tenn. Smith and Senator O. B. Macdonald | The Republican Macdonald offered to vote | and this also went on record as being ruled | out. Further protests were made by Repub- l licans against the votes of Democratic repre-
 sentatives whose seats are in doubt. The ! Democrats yrotested against the votes of the l nineteeen Republican senators and five Re l publican representatives. Harrison, includ- | ing protests, received II votes, Turpie 75 | and Allen 4. The same result was obtained l on second call of the roll when the con- | yention adjourned.
 l It is. proposed by this proceeding to make | up case for the United States Senate as the
 seat will be contested, no matter wo is elect l ed.

A sroRMY sE>sI0" AT TRENTON.

Enc Democrats Making Their Major
 ity solid By Unseating Rep abltcans.
 TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 19.-After 8 tong and bitter contest to-day the Democrats, mum bering one majority, succeeded in carry ing their motion to seat Walters of the Sec ond Assembly district of Mercer county. This is the second contested seat whic h they have settled to their satisfaction and it gives them thirty two members in the House over twenty-six Republicans and two Labor men, who are practically with the Republicans. The Labor men voted to-day in every ques- tion with the Republicans and are now considered safe to do so for the session. When Walters presented himself to be sworn in tumultuous applause resounded from all parts of the House; the galleries were evidently in sympathy with the Demo crats and continued their noisy demonstra- ton for some minutes in spite of the Speak CTS gavel. When Walters had been sworn in, McDermott, who is bitterly opposed to the Speaker and had made himself very of fensive all the morning, jumped up and offered this resolution:
 Resolved, That the Speaker be removed and Democrat be put in his place.
 This caused loud outburst on all sides, but the resolution was tabled. McDermott was very angry at this rebuff and he and his especial supporter Mclaughlin have taken umbrage at what they consider bad treat ment on the part of their friends. It may result in small dissensions in the Democratic ranks The Democrats moved and carried the appointment of some committees before the adjournment, thus taking the power out of the Speakers hands. The most important of the committees were two on labor each of which contains two Democrats and two Re- publicans and one labor member The Dem ocrats exerted themselves to annoy the Speaker to-day, but the latter though dis turbed kept cool and accomplished the busi- ness of the office successfully. At one time his voice was drowned by the cries of his enemies and business was brought to standstiIl until quiet could be obtained. The com mittees were appointed. one to examine into the Turley-Haines and one to investigate the Jones, Walters contested cases. Both of these committees contain a majority of Democrats, undoubtedly Walters and Hurley will be allowed to retain their seats. At 2:30 the House was adjourned until Fri day and from Friday until Monday night. The Senate meets to morrow, but no organ ization is looked for though the Democrats may try to force such an issue. The attor- ney-general has given it as his opinion that | the minority cannot organize and if the Be publicans persist in refusing to organize the l Governor will be obliged to appoint United l States Senator for one year until 8 new legis lature meets. Most of the members have | left town. Sewell, Phelps, Abbett and Green have gone away too.

Renta Greatlx Redueed In Ireland.


 DUBLIN, Jan. 19.-Maurice Murphy, one of the tenants evicted from the estates of Sir Rowland Wrinn at Glenbugh, owns 27 COWS and has $500 cash. The prosperous condition of Murphy does not by any means represent the pecuniary standing of the other tenants, but it is believed they aye all able to pay. A reporter telegraphing from Glenbugh says the people there are better clothed and fed than many of their brethren in the south of Ireland and asserts that the land though poor is vastly better than in other parts of the country. The most of the estate books in the region of Glenbirg show that rents have been greatly reduced in the last few years The correspondent also reports an interview with Roe, the agent of the Wrinn estate, in which the latter says the arrears of rent up to May, 1886, aggregated e6, TT. This sum he had endeavored in vain to col lect and finally offered to cancel 95, ,312, de- manding only half of last years rent. Father Quilter wrote to General Butler that he would undertake to see that the tenants carry this out and some tenants paid up, Father Ouil.er setting an example
